There are a lot more menstrual options than just tampons or pads, look into all your options.
For now if you're menstruating and don't have any pads then you can just use tissue or clean cloth (e.g. a face cloth) folded up and put into your underwear to act as a makeshift pad - remember lots of people make their own menstrual pads with cloth, if crafty you could even do that. Otherwise just bleed, menstrual flow is no less hygienic than vaginal discharge, just wash well to remove staining.

You are scared to use a tampon but you hate pads what do you do?
There are some tampons that are made more slender to be easier to insert and wear, especially for a young girl. Look for brands that say "slender" or "teen" on the box. Or you could wear a smaller size pad, they have ones that are thin and yet can be worn for a few hours at a time. They would say something like "thin maxi" on the box.

If your tampon keeps slipping should you try pads?
A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.

Can you menstrate with tampons and not pads?
No, if you use tampons you still have to use pads - it's not safe to wear tampons before your period or with light flow, and it's not hygienic to use tampons throughout your entire period so you should ideally alternate with pads or at least wear pads at night. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which increases TSS risks by giving TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into the bloodstream - thus tampons shouldn't be worn without sufficient flow. Tampons encourage bacterial growth and prevent vaginal cleaning, inserting one tampon after another keeps bacteria within the vagina, using pads allows your vagina a chance to clean itself and heal.
